Wife has the day off to watch the Grandson.......................................... ..I'm outta' here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since Santa didn't leave me a 10 lb'er in my stocking, today was my day to go looking for one.
On the water @ 8:00 a.m. and finished @ 5:00 p.m. at my "favorite southern beach".
Nice mostly overcast day with variable winds from the south and switching to the north giving the water a little bit of chop.
My pal from Sparks was there at dark-o-thirty and had landed 4 by the time I made it into the water.
From 8:00 till 1:30, three of us fishing didn't even get a hit/bump/touch/strike................ugh..............
I switched from a 'cator, spinning rod with spoon, and stripped buggers & beetles too.
At 1:30 I got my first strike with a midge + balanced leech combo.
As the day progressed, the "bite" picked up. Read....................AFTERNOON BITE.
So, between 1:30 till about 4:30 I went 1 for 11.
I was getting a little concerned that I was going to go home tonight smelling like a "pole cat".
The one fish that I managed to land was a rat.
Them are some pretty bad numbers...............................
But, my excuse is that the fish were taking my size #10 midge.
Yep, the fishes were on a "Cherry Bomb" pattern today.
A "Cherry Bomb" midge (as explained to me) has a black body, red wire rib (medium sized wire), and an over sized metallic red bead head.
I've often heard that Pyramid fish will take any color........as long as it's RED.
Not a "great numbers day" fishing, nor a bad day either.
I just didn't get that 10 lb'er that was suppose to be in my Christmas stocking !!!!!!
There you have it again, another Pyramid report.
